Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen left a game against the Mets after just six pitches due to a strained right hamstring. The team announced that Gallen will be sent back to Arizona for further examination. Subsequently, Gallen was placed on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, with hopes of a similar recovery timeline as a previous injury in 2021.

It appears to be a Grade 1 (i.e., least severe) hamstring strain for Zac Gallen, Torey Lovullo said. Gallen missed only 15 days with a Grade 1 strain back in 2021, and Lovullo sounded hopeful Gallen could be back on a similar timeline this time.
